In a previous post I had described my experience of building my own toolkit for collecting various windows logs. In today's blog post I decided to have a sneak peek about my choice of using Obsidium Software Protection Application in order to make someone's life more difficult if they try cracking my or anyone's work application. Below you can find...

All started some years ago when I created some Windows Shell scripts such as vbs/batch etc. to automate computer tasks at home and at the company I worked for. After that period, I started to integrate them within some PowerShell scripts. Some of those batch files converted to executables. Short time after I thought, hmm is there a way to build a beautifully crafted UI and bring all those scripts into a single executable without the need to install it? Well, I accepted that challenge and looked around for options. I was looking for a product I can rely on for all my needs such as

• having a universal Scripting IDE for all my administrative as well as web-development tasks;• having a Windows PowerShell integrated scripting and tool-making environment for x86/x64;• In-house support or forum access to ask diverse tool making questions when struggling with any problems when using the software, the way I like;• finally, not to be so expensive, to cover with one license two development machines and to be able to migrate easily the installation across devices when needed.

So, I came across Sapien Software. I went with their 45 days trial version and explored all those nice features they have developed over the years. Shortly after being amazed I went with the commercial license for Sapien PowerShell Studio 2018. Not long after, I needed to have a way to convert my Windows Batch and VBS files into executables, so I struggled shall I just buy additionally the PrimalScript or why not just upgrade to their Sapien Software Suite S3 2018/2019? So, I did, I bought the full Suite and it is fun playing around with the different included apps. Their S3 package is now better known as the Sapien DevOps 2019 Version. As of May 2019 and writing the blog post, the package includes the below separate applications:

• PrimalScript is the leading Universal Scripting IDE for all your administrative and web-development tasks.• PowerShell Studio is the premier editor and tool-making environment for Windows PowerShell.• VersionRecall is the simplest way to manage multiple versions of files on your computer.• WMI Explorer discover WMI - get a handle on WMI classes and their properties and methods.• PrimalSQL makes database query development and testing a snap, regardless of your database type or vendor.• PrimalXML provides you with the core set of functionality that you need to get your job done.• PowerShell Module Manager is the essential tool for centrally managing all PowerShell modules installed on your machine.• PowerShell HelpWriter the first professionally designed environment for writing and editing Windows PowerShell help files.

Since 2018, I usually work using Sapien PowerShell Studio/PrimalScript/WMI Explorer/Version Recall.

I am sharing below some screenshots about the happiness I have when using such powerful suite with tools at the fingertips. I am a happy user using the Dark Mode Template :).

So, the app I tried building consist of the below functionality:

• BASIC LOGS - SUMMARY

The Data is collected in csv/xls(x)/xml/txt/csv file formats. The exported data is set to be saved in the Current Directory where the App is run.

The file is set to look like: computername_x64/x86 Architecture. For example: MyPC-name__SUMMARY_WIN7_SP1_x64.txt .

Another nice article on how to upgrade and downgrade the integration services for 2012 non-R2, 2012 R2 and Server 2016. In a previously defined article there was shown a way to upgrade/downgrade them on 2008/R2 . Assuming you have a 2012 R2 Guest VM running and it is already upgraded to include the level of KB3063109 . Here in this blog post I will...
